and well-respected presence in the market. He is someone great to
know because he knows almost everyone, including the most
powerful capital providers behind the scenes. He is a real
broker’s broker with a career spanning 45 years, culminating as
CEO of Willis Re. And he has all the broker’s charm and craft
accumulated over that period. He is also passionate and wears his
heart on his sleeve. A consistent theme he has pursued in his
career is a belief in the importance of enabling the renewal of
the specialty insurance business in general and the Lloyd’s
market in particular by giving entrepreneurs the opportunities
and support they need to innovate and to refresh the sector. And
in the venture he founded four and a half years ago he has made
it his business to do just that. John Cavanagh is the chairman of

all about. In this podcast we find out the biggest secular trends
in specialty insurance and how Beat is on a mission to ride and
